A compact serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced, beaked serifs that create a chiseled silhouette. Strokes show moderate contrast, with sturdy verticals and tapered joins that sharpen at the ends rather than forming heavy slabs. The uppercase is tall and condensed with crisp apexes and angled serifs, while the lowercase keeps a relatively even rhythm with narrow bowls and tight counters. Numerals are robust and slightly old-style in feel, with strong curvature and emphatic terminals that keep them lively at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and cover typography where a compact, classic serif is needed without losing presence. It can also support editorial branding, certificates or formal materials, and period-leaning posters where a chiseled, traditional tone is desirable.
The overall tone feels traditional and declarative, with a slightly old-world, engraved character. Its sharp, flared endings and compact width give it a purposeful, institutional voice—serious, confident, and a bit dramatic in headlines.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with added visual bite through flared terminals and beaked serifs, balancing readability with a distinctive engraved-like personality for display-led typography.
The repeated use of pointed entry/exit strokes and wedge serifs gives the face a consistent, carved texture across letters, helping it hold together in dense settings. The compact spacing and narrow counters suggest it benefits from a bit of tracking in larger display use, while still reading clearly in shorter text blocks.
